Puzzle Rules: The answer to the puzzle is a Dodger player. Comment freely in the thread, but if you have the solution, please don't give it away to everyone in the comments section. Instead, do the following:

Email us with the first and last name of the Dodger player who is the answer, along with your reasoning (submitted answers with only a player's name without an explanation will not be accepted. Likewise, correct answers arrived at via luck or the wrong reasoning count for participation credit only). And please include your screen name somewhere in the email; and

Post a comment simply saying you have emailed your solution attempt. I may not be able to reply to your original email promptly, so please be patient and check back on the comment thread for the latest news; I may confirm correct answers there.

For this puzzle in particular, please give detail in your explanation. It has sort of has a 2-level solution. If you get the 1st level, you can probably guess at the correct answer, but you need to explain both 'levels' of the solution to get credit.

I'm never sure how these puzzles will pan out until they are released. As it turns out, the submitted answer have fallen into three categories: 1) 100% correct and completely explained, 2) 85% correct and mostly explained, or 3) 50% correct and partically explained (like Dusto's answer)

Either 1) or 2) is considered correct. If you are 3), you gotta do a bit more.

It was definitely a close call. If I would have had to take a business call thirty seconds later, you probably could have squeaked by.

I would have had it sooner, but I got to trying to solve it in my head while I was driving to work. It turns out that wasn't a great strategic decision. I made it much more difficult than it had to be.
